Our Revolution: The Summer for Progress: Lets Move Our Country Forward

Excerpt:

During this summer’s congressional recess, Our Revolution, Democracy for America, Democratic Socialists of America, Progressive Democrats of America, #AllofUs, National Nurses United, and dozens of other organizations will be organizing to empower members like you to schedule a meeting, town hall, or direct action to demand Democratic members of Congress support the #PeoplesPlatform.

Democrats in Congress must lay out a bold vision for how we create a country that works for everyone--not the just the very wealthy. In the wealthiest nation on earth, each and every American family should have the basic things they need to thrive. We’ll keep fighting until everyone has access to healthcare, free college tuition, a livable planet, and a job that pays a living wage.

Sign our petition:

Tell House Democrats-- resistance isn’t enough, we must move our country forward with a bold, progressive agenda. Co-sponsor our #PeoplesPlatform when Congress returns to session in September.



Join us as we urge House Democrats to support:


Medicare for All: H.R. 676 Medicare For All Act

Free College Tuition: H.R. 1880 College for All Act of 2017

Worker Rights: H.R.15 - Raise the Wage Act

Women’s Rights: H.R.771 - Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act of 2017

Voting Rights: H.R. 2840 - Automatic Voter Registration Act

Environmental Justice: Climate Change Bill - Renewable Energy (More details soon!)

Criminal Justice and Immigrant Rights: H.R. 3227 - Justice is Not For Sale Act of 2017

Taxing Wall Street: H.R. 1144 - Inclusive Prosperity Act


The status quo isn’t working. This summer, let’s work together to get House Democrats to back our #PeoplesPlatform.
